I'll say it.

I love Pottery Barn.  It's my main source of inspiration.  I wish I had a personal PB designer who could fill my home with PB goodies and charge me a fraction of the retail cost - it's all I could afford!

Since my fantasy will never become a reality, I'll search high and low for pieces that will fit the my style.  Speaking of "my style," I'm not quite sure what it is.  I like to call it Comfortable Chic.  A home that you can walk in and say, "oooohh...that looks comfty."  Yet also say..."oooohh...how chic!"  Hahaha...did that make any sense?

I'm certain if a designer walked into my house, they would go, "what the heck is going on here?" ;P

And I'll say, "let me introduce my home to you."

I love finding home treasures yet living in the suburbs makes this quite difficult. 
I'll go anywhere for pieces that speak to me - flea markets, ikea, estate sales, homegoods...to name a few.
I like being in my home.  I enjoy moving pieces around and thinking of what I can do next.
I have a very accommodating loving husband who will hang nails when I want him to (although it does take a couple reminders) and say, "that looks great!" even though he may not quite understand my enthusiasm when I find a new white pitcher.
I like the cottage feel yet my home is a traditional colonial so I'm creating my own style - remember comfortable chic.
I have no design background...I get my inspiration from researching and finding something that speaks to me.

So there you have it.  Nice to meet you!
